Download: OBIEE 10g - Optimising with OLAP and Essbase(pdf)

A presentation delivered to the UK Oracle User Group outlining the performance/maintenance benefits Oracle OLAP and Essbase cubes can bring to your BI implementations.   The presentation outlines certain situations when the use of a cube engine is a better long-term strategy than using Materialized Views.   A test scenario is also documented that compares the performance of Materialized Views against Oracle OLAP and Essbase cubes....the results of which appear to back up the claims made by a related Oracle white-paper on OTN.
